Plainville, MA — Plainridge Park played host to the $1.2 million Massachusetts Breeders Stakes finals on Thursday (Oct. 30), where eight $150,000 divisions of the best state-bred trotters and pacers went postward on an afternoon that featured inclement weather and an off track. But, despite those conditions, several big miles were thrown as the eight champions were crowned.

Mother’s Moni (Dexter Dunn) took a quick lead but made a break rounding the first turn. That left Geologic as commander of fractions, and he dominated the race for the duration. With an eight-length lead, Geologic got to the half in :57.2 and extended it to 15 lengths at three-quarters in 1:26.3. By the top of the stretch, Geologic was long gone and ended up winning by 19-3/4 lengths in a career best 1:56.1.
